The Bihar Teachers' Union staged a one-day protest on Saturday in the Harlakhi block of Madhubani district to press for various demands. Dozens of teachers participated in the demonstration, including Block President Amresh Kumar Singh, General Secretary Satyanarayan Yadav, Treasurer Manawwar Ali, and District Media In-charge Rajneesh Kumar Gandhi.

The teachers' primary demands include an immediate halt to forced transfers, the implementation of the seventh pay commission benefits, and the restoration of the old pension scheme. The union also called for planned and special teachers to receive the benefits of graduate pay and time-bound promotions as per regulations. Furthermore, demands were raised for timely salary payments for all teachers, salary fixation and arrears payment for head teachers, and salary scales for dependents appointed on compassionate grounds.

Other demands included issuing a letter for half-day operations in Urdu schools, providing financial benefits to D.L. Ed. degree holders from the date of completion of their training, maintaining the remaining service books of special teachers, releasing pending funds for MDM (Mid-Day Meal), and promptly paying outstanding honorariums to sanitation workers. The teachers urged the government to seriously consider and quickly resolve their demands.
